  Are we Protestant now!
  
  It is not enough that the modernist have taken our blessed Lord from its place of honor on the high altar to be demoted to a brick pedestal at the side of the church.
  
  Even the altar is no longer an altar but a kitchen table and even it is getting moved out to give pressidence to man as if man has become God.
  
  If that priest won't tell you . I will because I truly believe in the real presences of our Lord Jesus in the blessed sacrament.
  
  The altar-lamp may be made of any kind of metal, and of any shape or form. According to the opinion of reputable theologians, it would be a serious neglect, involving grave sin, to leave the altar of the Blessed Sacrament without this light for any protracted length of time, such as a day or several nights (St. Lig., VI, 248). For symbolical reasons olive oil is prescribed for the lamp burning before the altar of the Blessed Sacrament, for it is a symbol of purity, peace, and godliness. Since pure olive oil, without any admixture, causes some inconvenience in the average American climate, oil containing between 60 and 65 per cent of pure olive oil is supposed to be legitimate material. Where olive oil cannot be had, it is allowed, at the discretion of the ordinary, to use other, and as far as possible vegetable, oils (Cong. Sac. Rit., 9 July, 1864). In case of necessity, that is, in very poor churches, or where it is practically impossible to procure olive or vegetable oils, the ordinary, according to the general opinion of theologians, would be justified to authorize the use of petroleum. We are of the opinion, however, that there are but few parishes that can claim this exemption on the plea of poverty. Gas (Ephem. Lit., IX, 176, 1895) and ELECTRIC LIGHTS (Cong. Sac. Rit., 4 June, 1895) are NOT allowed in its stead.
  
  According that zealous Doctor of the Church, Saint Alphonsus Liguori, it would be a grave sin to leave the altar of the Blessed Sacrament without this candle or lamp burning for any prolonged length of time, such as a day or several nights (St. Alph. Lig., VI, 248).
  
  Take that hideous electric candle and save it for your funneral.
  Give our God his Honor.

  The church building for St. Luke University Parish, and the rectory building are under construction at 10144 42nd Ave, just South of the Grand Valley campus and across the street from the Campus View Cottages in Allendale. Anticipated occupancy is early 2017.
  
  On December 1, 2016 the parish office will move to an onsite trailer on the new property. Look for us there soon!
